We aren't good at giving gifts.

G.I. Joe and I are worse than a couple of 8 year olds when it comes to presents. We spend weeks stockpiling and creating things for each other and then usually can't wait until Christmas to exchange them. This year we made it all the way to Christmas Eve! That's huge for us. One year we opened all our gifts, stockings included, on December 19th. Why? Because we just get so excited about surprising each other.

Having him snowed out helped us hold off. On our anniversary (Christmas Eve) we opened everything. Our favorite thing to do is homemade gifts. This year for our 4th anniversary I made him a "Love Bucket" with 24 random reasons why I love him.

G.I. Joe went all out and made me this "trophy" of our 4 years together.

His Christmas present was the trip to Louisiana so he didn't unwrap much but he took my breath away with this memory box he made me. He did all the painting and even had fake snow and twinkle lights inside.

The box included a snow globe with the face of the most precious angel I've ever seen.

There was also another smaller box inside from that angel.

Lucy hand painted Mommy 2 very special Christmas ornaments.

Next up I'll have to do a whole post just dedicated to Lucy's Christmas adventures.
This post was pretty much just meant to be a random brag on how great my husband is.
You ladies may now proceed to "ooh" and "aww."

Thank you again, Babe! You really out did yourself this year. I don't think you'll ever be able to top it!
